Has anyone compare the 12x50 HD side by side with the UHD glass? I looking to upgrade from my vipers and can’t decide whether to spent the extra $800. I am looking to stay with vortex strictly for the warranty they have
I’ll take the weight penalty for now…If you like glassing with a small briefcase-sized optic, you'll love the UHD's.
I'm happy with my (Japan) Razor HDs for this reason. Tried upgrading to a set of SLCs and Meostars and they were a little too heavy for my liking with no real advantage for me optically. The Razors are a good compromise bino. Better FOV than most too. I glassed all day with them on Sunday picking out blacktail in a clearcut and had zero eye strain. Love them.I love the UHD's optics, but as I've said before, they are way bigger and bulkier, ergonomically, than competing $1400 glass. I compared them to my SLC's and optically they are right there, but are WAY bigger. Otherwise, I'd be a user.
